end
BACKGROUND:
In 2019 the City completed sewer cleaning and televising of the Bluff Street and West River Wall Interceptor sewer. The televising inspection data showed significant deterioration of the 30-inch Bluff Street Interceptor between Ruby Street and the connection to the West River Wall at Bridge Street. The interceptor is approaching 100 years in age and the deterioration is being caused by grit in the wastewater flow and from high scouring velocities. In some areas the interceptor is missing the bottom of the pipe and the steel reinforcement is protruding in the flow line. Due to the severity of the deterioration the City is no longer able to maintain the interceptor properly or safely until rehabilitation is completed. Therefore, it is recommended that the interceptor be rehabilitated using a cured in place pipelining method.
On October 3, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved an Amendment for the Use of Community Development Block Grants which proposes to allocate $650,152.00 of funding for the engineering and construction of the Bluff Street Interceptor Rehabilitation. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

On Tuesday, March 5, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., four (4) sealed bids were received for the Bluff Street Interceptor Rehabilitation Project. The bid summary is as follows:
